What nourishes the woman who nurtures others?

So much of a woman’s life is spent tending: to people, responsibilities, relationships and hopes. Rooted is an invitation to pause and attend to what nourishes her own heart.

What does it mean to be rooted and anchored in the Qur’an through the changing seasons of our lives?

أَصْلُهَا ثَابِتٌ وَفَرْعُهَا فِي السَّمَاءِ

In Surah Ibrahim, Allah gives us the image of a good word as a good tree, firmly rooted and bearing fruit by His permission. This image invites us to consider the roots beneath our own lives: what nourishes us, what steadies us, and how that nourishment reaches those around us. Join us for an evening of Qur’an, shared food and meaningful connection. Together, we will explore how our relationship with the words of Allah can deepen, sustain us through difficulty and shape the way we live. There will be space to listen, reflect and speak honestly- and space simply to receive.

An Evening to Nourish Your Roots

Help nurture another woman’s roots

Throughout the evening, you will also have the opportunity to support Qur’an Halaqah’s work connecting women with the Qur’an through learning, sisterhood and community. Come with whatever this season holds. We hope you leave nourished- with an ayah to return to, a next step to take and connections to nurture.

When We Feel Uprooted

A special conversation between Umm Salihah and Nabeela El Sayed, author of Breaking Burnout What happens when the woman who nurtures others feels depleted herself?

An honest conversation about womanhood, faith and finding steadiness through life’s changing seasons.
